Review of Lake City (2008) by Ceph J — 04 Mar 2009
I give this 3 stars for the acting attempts of Sissy Spacek, Rebecca Romijn, and Dave Matthews. It verges on a Lifetime movie. The movie has plot holes all over the place and parts seem to be out of order.
One morning, the character of Billy sleeps in a garage and the owner of the garage runs into Billy's mom telling her Billy needed a place to crash after his AA meeting last night. Yet it cuts back to an AA meeting that is happening at the same time.
This is a little jarring and confusing. Just seems like bad editing. There is one fairly funny shot of Sissy Spacek putting her truck in gear and it appears as though she has never driven this truck before.
She reaches for a gear shift on the floor and then realizes it's not there. Little things like this make the movie a little hard to watch. As a Dave Matthews fan, it was nice to see Dave do something serious.
He oozes energy on screen and is fun to watch. Rebecca Romijn gives a nice, honest performance. This is not something I would watch again.
